OP have you adjusted the steering box on the top nut? Just a quick fix no parts needed but there's a 17mm lock nut and a torx bit on top of the box if you clean it up and make a mark on the the adjusting screw undo the lock nut turn it no more than quarter of a turn but Id recommend half that then tighten the lock nut down that might help but don't go to mad as it can affect the seals/box just a small adjustment is needed. 110 Td5 Ex Utilities slowly converting into a pop top camper one day

Thank you all, this site remains the best for helpful advice for experts and novices, without judgement.

Did you get the steering sorted in the end? I ask because I had a similar issue and despite trying all the usual things it was actually fixed by getting the wheels aligned properly. I’d had it done previously by a tyre place but it still felt ever so slightly off so I went to a motorsport specialist with experience of Land Rovers and they found my rear was out of true. Now it drives perfectly and there is no play in the steering. WARNING.
